Once upon a time, we used to run… a lot. (Greg still runs, Sarah has quit for now). We used to participate in a few races a year. This year we only signed up for one (not counting the Spartan Super), the Famous Canadian Beer Run. This is a 5k through Ontario Place where, instead of a medal at the end, you get a beer stein with tokens for, you guessed it… beer. 

We did this run last year and to be honest, it was kind of a mess. There were only 4 beer vendors (really 3 and a vodka mixed drink place) and one food vendor. There was no seating and a lot of people. Fast forward to this year. The organizers sent out some surveys and from what I can see, they really listened to what we had to say. 

It was a great event this year! Pre-race kit pick up, 7 different breweries, 2 cider vendors, 1 vodka vendore and multiple places to eat. A ton of seating, great entertainment and an awesome race route along the water front!

My only complaint was the heat (which I know no one can do anything about hahah). It was a great day! We will definitely sign up again next year. You should too!
